The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to construct a jogging park under the Anik-Wadala flyover that connects the L ward in Kurla and Wadala bus depot. On Wednesday, the proposal will be tabled before the civic body’s standing committee for an approval.
An official involved with the project said that this project will also include augmentation of a stormwater drain in the adjoining Meenatai Thackeray garden.
It is believed that the project work is likely to begin in two months and it costs worth ₹2 crore. The contract for the work will be handed for a period of 11 months, including the monsoon season.

In 2016, the BMC had developed a garden and walking track for senior citizens under the Nanalal D Mehta flyover, between King’s Circle and Ruia college, at Matunga. Following the success of this flyover, the civic body then planned to develop similar spaces under flyovers across the city.
Currently, the civic body has 23 such plans in the pipeline, which includes walkways, landscaping, seating areas and horizontal gardens on pillars.
